Before our dreams were ablaze
Before the stars lost their shine
Before life removed our spine
We made a pact to go back
To the place where laughter
Met tears in a blinding
Youthful bolt in the sky
Where pupils weren’t polished
Reflecting man’s sin, instead
Fresh hungry eyes uncalloused by
The torrent of time and old lies
We made a pact to go back
Where anything could and
Nothing couldn’t
Where God was Alive
Behind every tree peeking
In every song singing
Under our pillows listening
We made a pact to go back
Before we rolled over, belly up
Before friends were connections
Before money masticated our morals
A pact to go back
And no one did
